TABLE OF CONTENTS
Table of Contents
PART I
Item 1. | Business |
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc., (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Florida on June 20,
1979. It was formed to acquire an existing golf course and tennis club located in Pasco County,
Florida, and develop it into a condominium resort and residential homes project named Saddlebrook
Resort (the Resort). In November 1988, the Company transferred its real estate development
division to its prior parent company and retained only its operation of the Resort.
The Company is currently owned by Saddlebrook Holdings, Inc., which is ultimately owned by Thomas
L. Dempsey and his family. Mr. Dempsey acquired the Company from its prior parent company in
November 1988.
Based on its numerous awards, the Resort has a reputation as a world-class facility that caters to
corporate meeting planners and sports enthusiasts at all skill levels. As a destination resort, it
offers luxury accommodations, convention facilities, restaurants, two golf courses, tennis courts,
a spa and other recreational areas. An accredited preparatory school at the Resort and an on-site
real estate sales office are operated by affiliates of the Company.
The Resorts accommodations are condominium units that have been sold to third parties or to
affiliates of the Company. The majority of the condominium units participate in a rental-pooling
program (the Rental Pool) that provides its owners with a percentage distribution of related room
revenues minus certain fees and expenses. The remainder of the condominium units participate in a
non-pooling rental program, are owner-occupied or are designated as hospitality suites or housing
for young athletes independent of the rental programs.
All of the Resorts condominium units are governed by the Saddlebrook Resort Condominium
Association, Inc. (the Association) in accordance with Florida statutes. The Board of Directors
for the Association is elected by the condominium unit owners. The condominium unit owners also
approve an annual budget of common expenses for the Association that determines their quarterly
assessments that must be paid regardless of the units participation in rental programs.
A Resort condominium units participation in a rental program also requires a club membership at
the Resort with its separate initiation fees and quarterly dues. The club membership is directed by
a Board of Governors appointed by the Companys management.

Table of Contents
The Companys operation of the Resort is not considered to be dependent upon the availability of
raw materials, nor the effect of the duration of patents, licenses, franchises or concessions held.
The Resorts business is considered to be seasonal with a higher volume of sales during the winter
and spring seasons.
Although the Resorts reputation in the conference-hosting industry is excellent, the market for
these services is extremely competitive. Consequently, it aggressively competes against numerous
resort hotels and convention facilities both in central Florida and nationwide.
At December 31, 2010, there were approximately 525 persons employed by the Company. The Companys
management relationship with its employees is excellent and there are no collective bargaining
agreements.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
The Company is subject to operating risks common to the hotel industry which could adversely affect
our results of operations.
Common hotel industry risks outside of our control include (but are not limited to) terrorism
(including threatened terrorist activity), the uncertainty of military conflicts, outbreaks of
contagious diseases and the cost and availability of travel options.
Continued weakness and further weakening in economic conditions may adversely affect consumer and
corporate spending and tourism trends which could have a negative impact on our results of
operation.
We are vulnerable to the risk of unfavorable weather conditions and the impact of natural
disasters. There is no way for us to predict future weather patterns or the impact weather patterns
may have on our results of operation or visitation.
Item 1B. | Unresolved Staff Comments |
None.
Item 2. | Properties |
Saddlebrook Resort is located in Wesley Chapel, Florida, which is in south central Pasco County,
immediately north of Tampa, Florida.
The Resort is inside the gated community of Saddlebrook. The Resorts property includes
approximately 480 acres of land that are owned by the Company and an affiliate. Located on the
Resorts property are convention facilities with over 95,000 square feet of meeting and function
space, three restaurants, two 18-hole golf courses, 45 tennis courts, a 7,000-square foot luxury
health spa, a 7,500-square foot fitness center, three swimming pools, shops and other operational
and recreation areas.
A total of 556 condominium units are at the Resort comprised of one-, two- and three-bedroom
suites. Of these condominium units, 408 are designed for hotel occupancy and located in an area
called the Walking Village. The remaining 148 are slightly larger, designed for longer-termed
rental, and are located in an area called the Lakeside Village. At December 31, 2010, there were
537 hotel accommodations participating in the Rental Pool. The three-bedroom condominium units
become hotel accommodations as a two-bedroom suite with a separate adjoining hotel room. Some
two-bedroom condominium units become hotel accommodations as a one-bedroom suite with a separate
adjoining hotel room.

Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
The Company is involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the
Companys management, insurance or indemnification from other third parties adequately covers these
matters. The effect, if any, of these claims is considered immaterial to the Companys financial
condition and results of operations.
Item 4. | Removed and Reserved |
PART II
Item 5. | Market for the Registrants Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters |
The Companys stock is privately held and there is no established market for the stock.
The right to participate in a rental pool that accompanies the condominium units that were
developed and sold by the Company is deemed to be a security. However, there is no market for such
securities other than the normal real estate market.
Since the security is the participation right in a rental pool, no dividends have been paid or will
be paid to condominium unit owners. However, the condominium unit owners participating in the
Rental Pool receive a contractual distribution of rent from the Company quarterly.

Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
General
The Company operates the Resort, which contains condominium units that have been sold to third
parties or to affiliates of the Company. The majority of the condominium units are hotel
accommodations that participate in the Rental Pool. Other resort facilities owned by the Company
and its affiliates include golf courses, tennis courts, a spa, restaurants and a conference center.
Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on our accounting and reporting. We
believe that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for
which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on our accounting or
reporting or that such impact will not be material to our financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows when implemented.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following accounting policies are considered critical by the Companys management. These and
other accounting policies require that estimates be made based on assumptions and judgment, that
affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies in the Companys
financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual
results may differ from these estimates due to different conditions.
Asset Impairments The Companys management periodically evaluates whether there has been a
permanent impairment of long-lived assets. The Companys management believes that the accounting
estimates related to asset impairments are critical estimates for the following reasons: (1) the
ongoing changes in managements expectations regarding future utilization of assets; and (2) the
impact of an impairment on reported assets and earnings could be material. During the year ended
December 31, 2010, the Companys management evaluated assets for impairment and concluded that the
sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows (excluding interest charges) from its assets
exceeded their then current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize an
impairment charge.

Table of Contents
Depreciation Expense The Company provides for depreciation by the straight-line method at annual
rates that amortize the original costs, net of salvage values, of depreciable assets over their
estimated useful lives. Managements estimation of assets useful lives are critical estimates for
the following reasons: (1) forecasting the salvage value for long-lived assets over a long period
of time is subjective; (2) changes may take place that could render an asset obsolete or
uneconomical; and (3) a change in the useful life of a long-lived asset could have a material
impact on reported results of operations and reported asset values. The Companys management
believes the estimated useful life corresponds to the anticipated physical life for most assets.
Although it is difficult to predict values far into the future, the Company has a long history of
actual costs and values that are considered in reaching a conclusion as to the appropriate useful
life of an asset.
Revenue Recognition The Companys revenues are derived from a variety of sources including, but
not limited to, hotel operations, food and beverage operations, retail sales, golf course greens
fees, and are recognized as products are delivered or services are performed. Revenues from
membership initiation fees are recognized over the average life of the memberships.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for
accounts receivable based upon factors surrounding specific customers, historical trends and other
information.
Loss Contingencies The Company estimates loss contingencies in accordance with FASB ASC 450-20
Loss Contingencies, which states that a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if
both of the following conditions are met: (a) information available before the financial statements
are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that a liability had been
incurred at the date of the financial statements and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably
estimated. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of our litigation matters will have an
adverse effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations. As such, there have
been no adjustments for loss contingencies to the accompanying financial statements as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2010.
See the Notes to the Financial Statements for Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. in Item 8 hereof for
additional accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Impact of Current Economic Conditions
Businesses appear to have altered their spending patterns in response to the current economic
conditions, resulting in fewer corporate bookings.
In response to this trend, overall marketing expenses have increased as the Company continues to
direct marketing efforts toward the social clientele by developing packages designed to target more
social guests, including families. These social packages are being promoted through the Companys
website as well as through travel wholesalers and with emphasis on e-commerce sites.
As a result of the continuing economic recession, the hospitality industry has suffered significant
declines in terms of hotel rates and occupancy during 2010 and 2009. These negative industry
trends have similarly impacted the Companys revenues during this period, which contributed to the
Companys approximate $2,964,000 net loss in 2010 and approximate $1,014,000 net loss in 2009.
2010 and 2009 were the first 2 years that the Company has incurred a net loss since 2003.
In response to this situation, management has implemented the following programs and measures to
help the Company get back to positive operating income for the year ending December 31, 2011. These
programs and measures include the following:
1. Management has embarked on a significant cost control program with regard to many of its
variable expenses. All departments have been charged to reduce and additional 5% from their
department expenses.
2. The Company has moved the operations of its higher end steakhouse during the week to another
restaurant on the property. Increased profits and cost savings expected to be generated by this
move is estimated to be $350,000 to $500,000 during the year ending December 31, 2011.
3. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company is experiencing increased group bookings for 2011
and 2012 that were not experienced during 2010 and 2009. These group bookings have been in the
range from small meetings to as large as 1,000-2,000 paid unit nights and are expected to have a
positive impact to the Companys operations.
4. The Company has developed plans to significantly increase the brand awareness and recognition of
its Golf Academy by becoming associated with 2 top golf teaching professionals. These golf
professionals will bring immediate name recognition to the Company through this association which
is expected to contribute additional revenues to both the Company and Saddlebrook International
Sports (SIS) with the expansion of the Golf Academy.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Future operating costs and planned expenditures for minor capital additions and improvements are
expected to be adequately funded by the Companys and its affiliates current cash reserves, or
cash generated by the Resorts operations.
The Companys shareholder has the financial ability and intent to continue to fund operations
through affiliated companies that are 100% owned by the Companys shareholder to the extent
required to support the Companys operations.
The Companys operation of the Resort is not considered to be dependent on any individual or small
group of customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the Companys
business or financial condition.

2010 Compared to 2009
The Companys total revenue increased $34,000, which is less than 1%, from the prior year. Rental
Pool revenue decreased $135,000, or approximately 2% from the prior year. Although occupied room
nights were up about 17% over the prior year, the average room rate was reduced by 12%.
Additionally, 2009 Rental Pool revenue was positively impacted by the collection of cancellation
penalties paid by groups who had booked prior to the economic changes that occurred during late
2008, and later opted to cancel their arrangements. 2010 Cancellation penalty revenue was decreased
by 88% over the prior year. Food and Beverage revenue benefited from a 10% increase in the total
number of guests on property which resulted in an approximately 7% increase compared to 2009.
The Companys costs and expenses increased by $1,831,000, or about 7%. This increase is related to
the increase in occupancy and number of guests, which resulted in increase payroll and repair and
maintenance costs. The increase is also impacted by the net gain recorded in 2009 on the sale of
assets of approximately $403,000 discussed in Note 5 of the accompanying financial statements.
Costs and expenses of the Rental Pool Operation decreased by $25,000 and this decrease is directly
related to the reduction in Rental Pool revenues.
The Companys net loss increased by $1,950,000. Amounts available for distribution to participants
decreased by $105,000.
2009 Compared to 2008
The Companys total revenue decreased $19,010,000, which is approximately 42%, from the prior year.
Rental Pool revenue decreased $6,408,000, or approximately 47% from the prior year. Both of these
decreases are directly related to the reduced occupancy levels in units participating in the rental
pool program, when comparing the two fiscal periods. Total paid unit nights decreased by 41%, and
the average room rate also decreased by about 13%. Food and Beverage revenue was also negatively
impacted by the reduction in resort guests, decreasing by approximately 47% from the prior year.
The Companys costs and expenses decreased by $15,198,000, or about 35%. This decrease is related
to the reduction in revenues and also a result of the Companys focus on managing its costs as a
result of economic conditions, and was partially offset by the net gain on the sale of assets of
approximately $404,000 discussed in Note 5 of the accompanying financial statements. Costs and
expenses of the Rental Pool Operation decreased by $1,771,000 and this decrease is directly related
to the reduction in Rental Pool revenues.
The Companys net loss for the year of $1,014,000 was a change of about $3,585,000 from the prior
years net income of $2,571,000. Amounts available for distribution to participants decreased by
$2,533,000.

Item 9A(T). | Controls and Procedures |
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d 15 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be reported in the Companys SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2010, under the direction of our chief executive
officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
In addition, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls
over financial reporting. The Companys internal control framework and processes are designed to
provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States.
As of December 31, 2010, management conducted an assessment of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting based on the criteria established in the Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on
the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Companys internal control
over financial reporting was effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
managements report in this annual report.
The Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does
not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must be considered relative to its cost.
Because of the inherent limitation in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the
quarter ended December 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the Company) as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders
equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
1. | Organization and Business |
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (the Company), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saddlebrook Holdings,
Inc. (SHI or the Parent Company), was incorporated in the State of Florida in June 1979
at which time it purchased a golf course and tennis complex, as well as certain undeveloped
land, located in Pasco County, Florida, which was developed as a resort-condominium and
residential homes project. Property improvements for the resort include condominiums, most
of which were sold to outside parties. The majority of the condominium units sold are
provided as hotel accommodations by their owners under a Rental Pool and Agency Appointment
Agreement (the Rental Pool). Other resort facilities include two 18-hole golf courses, 45
tennis courts, three swimming pools, three restaurants, a convention facility with
approximately 95,000 square feet of meeting and function space, a health spa, a fitness
center, shops and other facilities necessary for the operation of a resort.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
A summary of the Companys significant accounting policies are as follows:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Escrowed Cash
All short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months
or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in
the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures up to $250,000
for substantially all depository accounts. During the year, the Company may, from time to
time, have had amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. As of December 31, 2010,
the Company had approximately $1,370,000 which exceeded these insured amounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with
GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements.
GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the
asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement
date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair
value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active
markets.
Level 2 Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level
1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices
for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

December 31, 2010 and 2009
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Level 3 Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions,
consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These
valuations require significant judgment.
There were no assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a
recurring basis on December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
The fair value of all of the Companys other financial assets and liabilities approximate
their carrying value due to their short-term nature or market rates of interest associated
with long-term obligations.
Accounts Receivable
Substantially all of the Companys accounts receivable is due from direct billings to
companies or individuals who hold conferences or large group stays at the resort. Other
receivables include quarterly membership fees and credit card charges. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial conditions and establishes an
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding specific customers, historical
trends and other information. The Company generally does not require collateral or other
security to support accounts receivable, although advance deposits may be required in certain
circumstances.
Resort Inventory and Supplies
Inventory includes operating materials and supplies, principally food and beverage, golf and
tennis merchandise, and is accounted for at the lower of first-in, first-out average cost or
market.
Property, Buildings and Equipment
Property, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the
estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis.
Certain expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to or extend the
useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense as incurred. When property, buildings and equipment are retired or
otherwise disposed, the cost of the assets and related accumulated depreciation amounts are
removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in operations.
Asset Impairments
The Companys management periodically evaluates whether there has been a permanent impairment
of long-lived assets, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
Companys management believes that the accounting estimates related to asset impairments are
critical estimates for the following reasons: (1) the ongoing changes in managements
expectations regarding future utilization of assets; and (2) the impact of an impairment on
reported assets and earnings could be material. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and
2009, the Companys management evaluated assets for impairment and concluded that the sum of
the undiscounted expected future cash flows (excluding interest charges) from its assets
exceeded their then current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize an
impairment charge.

Deferred Charges
Deferred charges represents costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the
Companys long-term debt. Amortization expense for deferred charges amounted to approximately
$11,000, $44,000 and $20,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Deferred charges are expected to be amortized approximately $11,000 per year
from 2011 through 2013 and approximately $3,000 in 2014.
Deferred Income
Deferred income includes deferred liabilities related to the sale of gift certificates,
prepaid dues, and deferred income of membership initiation fees. Revenue from gift
certificates is recorded when the certificate is redeemed. Revenue from dues is recorded over
the annual membership period, and the deferred membership initiation fees are recognized over
the historical average life of a membership which approximates 12 years.
Resort Revenues
Resort revenues are recognized as services are performed or products are delivered with the
exception of initiation fee revenue, which is recognized over the average life of the
memberships. Resort revenues also include rental revenues for condominium units owned by
third parties participating in the Rental Pool. If these rental units were owned by the
Company, normal costs associated with ownership such as depreciation, real estate taxes, unit
maintenance and other costs would have been incurred. Instead, operating costs of the resort
for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 include rental pool distributions to
participants and the maintenance escrow fund approximating $2,700,000, $2,800,000 and
$5,300,000, respectively.
Advertising
The Company charges costs of advertising to sales and marketing as incurred. The Company
incurred advertising costs of approximately $374,000, $298,000 and $535,000 during the years
ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company is currently a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary. Accordingly, no income tax
expense was reflected in the Companys operating results as the tax is assessed to the
shareholders of its parent company.
Management has determined that the Company had no uncertain income tax positions that could
have a significant effect on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The parent companys federal income tax returns for 2007, 2008 and 2009 are subject to
examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the
federal income tax returns were filed.
Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (the Plan), which provides retirement
benefits for all eligible employees who have elected to participate. Employees must fulfill a
one year service requirement to be eligible. The Company matched one-half of the first 2% of
an employees contribution through the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company indefinitely
suspended future matching contributions effective with the year ended December 31, 2009 and
has continued the suspension through 2010. Company contributions approximated $46,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on our accounting
and reporting. We believe that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other
authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an
impact on our accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to our
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.
3. | Managements Plans Regarding Liquidity and Capital Resources |
As a result of the continuing economic recession, the hospitality industry has suffered
significant declines in terms of hotel rates and occupancy during 2010 and 2009. These
negative industry trends have similarly impacted the Companys revenues during this period,
which contributed to the Companys approximate $2,964,000 net loss in 2010 and approximate
$1,014,000 net loss in 2009. 2010 and 2009 were the first 2 years that the Company has
incurred a net loss since 2003.
In response to this situation, management has implemented the following programs and measures
to help the Company get back to positive operating income for the year ending December 31,
2011. These programs and measures include the following:
1. Management has embarked on a significant cost control program with regard to many of its
variable expenses. All departments have been charged to reduce an additional 5% from their
department expenses.
2. The Company has moved the operations of its higher end steakhouse during the week to
another restaurant on the property. Increased profits and cost savings expected to be
generated by this move is estimated to be $350,000 to $500,000 during the year ending
December 31, 2011.
3. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company is experiencing increased group bookings for
2011 and 2012 that were not experienced during 2010 and 2009. These group bookings have been
in the range from small meetings to as large as 1,000-2,000 paid unit nights and are expected
to have a positive impact to the Companys operations.
4. The Company has developed plans to significantly increase the brand awareness and
recognition of its Golf Academy by becoming associated with 2 top golf teaching
professionals. These golf professionals will bring immediate name recognition to the Company
through this association which is expected to contribute additional revenues to both the
Company and Saddlebrook International Sports (SIS) with the expansion of the Golf Academy.
5. The Companys shareholder has the financial ability and intent to continue to fund
operations through affiliated companies that are 100% owned by the Companys shareholder to
the extent required to support the Companys operations.

Insurance Company (RHIC), with other resorts participating in Resort Hotel Association
(RHA), an insurance risk purchasing group. The Company retains an equity interest in and
pays insurance premiums to RHIC. The Companys ownership is less than 10% and all amounts
contributed as capital ($132,866 as of December 31, 2010) and the increase in equity

expenses and other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Any change in equity is
reflected as a component of other income in the statements of operations. The Companys
investment approximates the proportionate net book value of the insurance company at December
31, 2010. The Companys stock in RHIC is restricted and may not be sold in the open market.
The Company may withdraw from RHA annually at the renewal date of any of its property or
casualty policies.
12. | Insurance Claim |
On August 12, 2007, the Company experienced damage to electrical facilities and the fire
alarm system, which also resulted in the need to replace and upgrade the fire alarm system
for the condominium units which are governed by Saddlebrook Resorts Condominium Association,

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Saddlebrook
Resorts, Inc., as Operators under the Saddlebrook
Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement
Resorts, Inc., as Operators under the Saddlebrook
Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation (funds created
for participants who have entered into a rental pool agreement as explained in Note 1) as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations and changes in participants
fund balance for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the rental pool operators management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of
their operations and changes in participants fund balance for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
1. | Rental Pool Operations and Rental Pool Agreement |
Condominium units are provided as rental (hotel) accommodations by their owners under the
Rental Pool and Agency Appointment Agreement (the Agreement) with Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc.
(collectively, the Rental Pool). Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. (Saddlebrook) acts as
operator of the Rental Pool which provides for the distribution of a percentage of net rental
income, as defined, to the owners.
The Saddlebrook Rental Pool Operation consists of two funds: the Rental Pool Income
Distribution Fund (Distribution Fund) and the Maintenance and Furniture Replacement Escrow
Fund (Maintenance Escrow Fund). The operations of the Distribution Fund reflect the
earnings of the Rental Pool. The Distribution Fund balance sheets reflect amounts due from
Saddlebrook for the rental pool distribution payable to participants and amounts due to the
Maintenance Escrow Fund. The amounts due from Saddlebrook are required to be distributed no
later than forty-five days following the end of each calendar quarter. The Maintenance
Escrow Fund reflects the accounting for escrowed assets used to maintain unit interiors and
replace furniture as it becomes necessary.
Rental pool participants and Saddlebrook share rental revenues according to the provisions of
the Agreement. Net Rental Income shared consists of rentals received less a marketing
surcharge of 7.5%, a 12.5% management fee, travel agent commissions, credit card expense and
provision for bad debts, if warranted. Saddlebrook receives 45% of Net Rental Income as
operator of the Rental Pool. The remaining 55% of Net Rental Income, after adjustments for
complimentary room revenues (ten percent of the normal unit rental price paid by Saddlebrook
for promotional use of the unit) and certain minor repair and replacement charges, is
available for distribution to the participants and maintenance escrow fund based upon each
participants respective participation factor (computed using the value of a furnished unit
and the number of days it was available to the pool). Quarterly, 45% of Net Rental Income is
distributed to participants and 10%, as adjusted for complimentary room revenues and minor
interior maintenance and replacement charges, is deposited in an escrow account until a
maximum of 20% of the set value of the individual owners furniture package has been
accumulated. Excess escrow balances are refunded to participants.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Accounting
The accounting records of the funds are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
Income Taxes
No federal or state taxes have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as the
tax effect of fund activities accrues to the rental pool participants and Saddlebrook.
